A bomb threat called in Thursday morning to Washita County 911, later leads to the Sentinel Police Chief being shot several times.

The threat made to a 911 call taker said a bomb would detonate inside the head start school.

The mayor said law enforcement traced that call to a house Dallas Horton shares with his wife. A house that has signs next to the front door that say "Cerified Zombie Killer" and "Warning Zombies inside enter at your own risk." The Mayor said he's known this kid his whole life.

The mayor said around 6 a.m. Thursday, Police Chief Louis Ross and four Washita County sheriff's deputies busted in to the Horton home. Mayor Dlugonski said Horton shot Chief Ross twice in the chest and once in the arm.

The mayor said Chief Louis Ross is home resting and is lucky to be alive.

“He borrowed a vest from the county before he went in and it saved his life,” said Mayor Dlugonski. “It was a blessing that he borrowed that vest.”

For much of Thursday the block in front of the home where the shooting occurred, had been closed off for the investigation.
